Southern Grove Primary School follows a whole school positive approach to the teaching of social thinking and emotional skills from Kindergarten to Year 6.

All teachers create a positive, safe, learning environment with a strong focus on building positive relationships through the use of low key responses and effective feedback.

Teachers will guide children to deal with conflict appropriately and to rebuild relationships. A coaching approach will teach our students to become effective problem solvers.

Our focus behaviours are:

• Be kind

• Be brave

• Be caring

• Use good manners
